LAFAYETTE — An Old National Bank employee pushed a panic alarm about 11:37 a.m. Tuesday when an angry customer became too loud, according to Lafayette police.

Officers arrived at the bank at 140 S. Creasy Lane and spoke with the disgruntled customer in the parking lot.

The customer might have mentioned a gun, but police didn't have enough evidence to consider it a crime, according to police.

Officers allowed the disgruntled customer leave, but they told him if he returned, he'd be arrested for trespassing, according to police.
